Fall 2017 Apparel Selections

One of the most difficult things -for me- is choosing which shirts to use for Central Texas Spirit Wear apparel. Coming up with designs is fairly easy. That is, once the creative juices begin flowing. But I admit, shirt selection is my biggest obstacle.

There are SO many choices. Do I go with the cheapest shirts to keep prices down? Or should I choose high end shirts because they feel good and look cool? What about apparel trends? Do I go with crew, V, or scoop neck? The choices just go on and on... It's seriously a problem -for me.

This year, I decided to go with some new, yet classic, shirts. And honestly, it did not take me days to decide. I knew I wanted to choose either tri-blend shirts or ring-spun cotton. I LOVE light weight shirts that feel nice. For the "regular" shirts, I chose styles that come in a heathered look. The heathered look is a hot style for 2017. It goes right along with the '70's/'80's retro trends we are seeing in fashion.

And between you and me and the wall... there is a chance I will go back into my listings and add the companion unisex or ladies version, just to give folks a choice.

Toddler shirts:
My best selling Spring spirit wear was the Rabbit Skins Toddler raglan. So I had to go with Rabbit Skins for a Fall shirt. It's a ring spun cotton / polyester blend. Easy to care for the label is designed to rip right out, trust me, I know. The color choices are solid and a vintage/heathered look

For the "regular shirt" I chose a Gildan Softstyle shirt. It is new for 2017. The solid colors are 100% ring spun cotton and the heathered colors are 35/65 blend. Again, it has a tear out tag.

Adult shirts:

To stay consistent and be able to easily offer matching shirts for the family, I chose LAT Find Jersey shirts. There is a unisex cut and a ladies cut. They have the look of a football jersey, but are a light weight cotton/poly blend. Solid and heathered colors are available.









I also chose Gildan Softstyle shirts for the ladies shirts. I will likely add the companion unisex cut shirt to the listings. I know many women that are not comfortable in a ladies' cut shirt. I like the scoop neckline, it's a change from the V neck and won't choke you like the crew neck. (Is that just me?) Like the toddler version, the solid colors are 100% cotton and the heathered colors are a blend.
